Roads roundup

We wanted to get updates on a number of pending projects, and Melissa DeLyser, Communications Manager for Washington County Land Use & Transporation Department, answered our questions.

What are the current activities and the timeline for the Cedar Hills Bl. offramp from Highway 26?

If all goes as planned, we will hold an open house sometime in spring/early summer. The design work is expected to be completed in July, with a fall construction start date. All dates are subject to change.

The curve on Thompson will be straightened, eventually.

A segment of Thompson road adjacent to the new Bonny Slope West development was proposed to be straightened. Land was going to be purchased from the Biggi family, what is going on with that? Also, are there plans to work on the realignment of Thompson west of the Saltzman intersection?

Both sections of Thompson Road are part of the MSTIP Bonding Cost-sharing Program. Thompson between Kenny and Saltzman will be initiated within four-six years; Thompson between Saltzman and Marcotte will be initiated in seven-10 years.

Cornell Rd paving…we heard that segments were supposed to get resurfaced sometime soon—it’s a mess of potholes from US 26 to Murray!

A service request for pothole filling was filed on Jan. 16, based on your email. The paving is included in the 2017-18 overlay contract. Typically that work starts in late March, depending on the weather.

What is the schedule for the work on the Walker Rd. / Murray intersection? The signs have been up for at least a year!

According to our website, construction is scheduled to begin in 2019 with an estimated completion of 12/31/2020. I spoke with the project manager, and we don’t have anything more specific at this time.
